Shoalhaven is located on the Eastern coast of Australia and has activities to suit nearly everyone. You can surf, hike, dive, go fishing and visit Seven Mile Beach if you prefer the outdoors.
And, if you prefer to stay indoors, you can visit Jim Wild’s oyster farm or a handful of local boutique wineries to take in the flavors of Shoalhaven.
Dunedin, New Zealand
New Zealand is known to have some of the most wildly beautiful landscapes on earth and Dunedin is no exception. Dunedin has a rich Scottish heritage that you will see in sites like the Larnach Castle.
Explore the charming and artsy neighborhood of Port Chalmers and don’t miss the coastal views at Tunnel Beach and at the lighthouse found in Taiaroa Head. The Royal Albatross Centre, found in the same region, also has a wildlife reserve where you can spot one of these unique birds.
Doha, Qatar
Like Dubai, Doha holds a similar futuristic elegance but is slightly lower on the tourism radar. In Doha, you will find the past and the future blended beautifully together.
Notably, you will find many types of cuisine in the city including Qatari, Filipino, American, Chinese, Nepalese, and Mexican food (among others). For a really exotic experience, you can observe the regional pastime of camel racing and falconry. And later, before you leave, you’ll want to stop by one of the tax-free malls to buy some gifts to take back home.
Puerto de la Cruz, Canary Islands, Spain
You may have never heard of Puerto de la Cruz, but you will want to add this beautiful city to your travel list. Located on Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, Puerto de la Cruz is a tantalizing escape for those who are thirsting for island life.
While you are in Puerto de la Cruz, you will find a variety of restaurants as well as an outdoor market, all the while taking in incredible island views. The city is known for its beaches and nightlife but if you are craving milder diversions, you can also visit the nearby zoo (Loro Parque) or the botanical gardens.
Amman, Jordan
Another beautiful location in the Middle East, Amman, Jordan is well worth a visit. This city is rich in culture and fascinating sites to visit. Just in this city, you can visit the Temple of Hercules at the Amman Citadel, which dates back to Roman times as well as the Byzantine Basilica and Umayyad Palace among other historical sites.
To really immerse yourself in the local culture, you can walk along Rainbow Street, which really comes to life on Thursday nights as locals begin their weekend. If you’re looking to experience Amman at a more relaxed pace, you can unwind at one of the nearby spas near the Dead Sea.
